As for the game Drogheda were excellent - the wide pitch really suited them and they fully deserved their victory. I thought Gavin & Gartland were excellent and surprised one of them didn't get MotM. The only weak link was the 'keeper who was the worst 'keeper in the air I've ever seen apart who hasn't played with United!!! :p
Linfield had 2 great chances early on from exposing him but didn't seem to try and exploit that - in fairness though his distribution and shot stopping was very good....

Great stuff!

What about the Fenian stuff though, why is that offensive? Are we not proud fenians one and all? LOL!

As for rule britannia etc, it might be hard to swallow, but there's nothing wrong with it.

I thought it was hilarious listening to them singing those chants and then the reply from the drogs was "We're from Drogheda and we are better than you" :) That seemed to stump them :D

Those old chants just make the singers look stuoid and stuck in the past.

What was it Alan Mathews said - Drogheda are the best team in the country at the moment :D

Well played Drogheda. It was good to watch and you should have had more.
Have to admit I started off hoping Linfield would win, because that would have set up an interesting final, and they've done a service to us all in their Shels-baiting exploits. But their approach was clearly cynical, and it was good to see the team trying to play football win the day.
Someone might have a word with Doolin to be a little more generous, or even just happy, in victory. Introduced as manager of the cup champions, top of the league, and now in the SSC final, and he still managed to moan.

Ah well, they're where they belong now, in the Belfast and District league.:(

Firstly, let me say well done to Drogs. They thoroughly deserved to win the game...no if's, but's, maybe's or any other excuses. Far and away the best performance we have seen from an away team (except Halmstad) at Windsor Park this season. Fair play and good luck.

Now Krstic.

I know one of the chips may have fallen off one of your shoulders, given your favourites failure to qualify from the group topped by Belfast & District Champions Linfield Football Club, but let's deal with some facts, shall we?

There were perhaps up to 300 so called Linfield fans who engaged in vile sectarian chanting at the game last night. The vast majority of these fans are only seen when Linfield play perceived "fenian" teams and Glentoran (who the cavemen also perceive as "fenian", given their rather limited brain capacity). Not for them Loughall away on a Tuesday night.

They also seem to forget that Linfield Football Club had several "fenians" playing last night in the famous Blue shirt, whose tradition these cavemen claim to uphold.

In the region of 3,500 Linfield supporters attended the game last night. In other words, over 90% of Linfield fans chose not to engage in sectarian chanting. The majority of them actually saw fit to applaud our worthy victors of the pitch, appreciating that our own favourites had been given a bit of a lesson.

Linfield Football Club have a problem with sectarian hoodlums at certain games. The Club is pledged to do whatever it can to try and deal with the problem. It's a big problem.

Now you sit in your ivory tower and hate Linfield Football Club all you like...we don't care. If you have anything constructive to offer by way of help, PM me...I promise that I will take that forward.

Let me tell you that when you approach some of these cavemen and ask them to "wise up", some of them may stare blankly back at you and tell you to "**** off, or you'll get your ****ing head kicked in". Not easy, is it?

Nobody at Linfield Football Club is in denial.

Other clubs have problems with sectarianism too...not just in Ireland.

Don't let your hatred of Linfield Football Club blind you to the fact that there are many, many great fans at Linfield who are embarrassed and sickened by this rogue element of cavemen.

Don't ever forget that many, many people are trying to do something about the problem...not just sitting behind a keyboard taking shots at Linfield Football Club.

Could I also suggest that for those of us that wish to see the cross border competitive dimension increase on this island, the best wishes of all true football fans should be with the many who are trying to deal with sectarianism.

There'll be no All Ireland competition without the current "Belfast & District" Champions being right at the heart of it.

You're wrong,there's already an All-Ireland competition without the 'Belfast & District Champions'...................................It's called the Eircom League.

It has teams from all parts of Ireland, including Northern Ireland;)

Never treeated so well in my life at a football match!!

the Linfield supporters were spot on lastnight and we were even drinking in a glasgow rangers pub on the shankhill for the day :)

I was disappointed to hear some of the chants last night as not in the spirit of the competition. I would think 300 people is a lot even from 3500 crowd.

BTW fair dues to Drogs as eventhough i only saw the 2nd half but ye looked worthy winners. Linfield looked tired & probably on the booze all weekend but maybe it was just because they were trying to chase the game.
